Robust Artificial Noise Aided Transmit Design for MISO Wiretap Channels with Channel Uncertainty

Abstract

In this letter, we study the robust artificial noise (AN) aided transmit design for a multiple-input single-output (MISO) wiretap channel with a single-antenna eavesdropper. We consider two uncertainty models for the imperfect channel state information (CSI) on the main and eavesdropper's channels at the transmitter. For the deterministic uncertainty model, we solve the worst-case secrecy rate maximization (WC-SRM) problem via semidefinite program (SDP). For the stochastic uncertainty model, we propose a suboptimal solution to the outage probability constrained secrecy rate maximization (OP-SRM) problem based on the robust design for the WC-SRM problem. The simulation results demonstrate performance improvement of the proposed worst case robust design as compared to that based on the worst case method without usage of AN.
